Many great articles written by Jim to help the Commodore user.
WE had hoped he could come to CCCC(C4) expo this spring;now I know why he didn't .
Several other Canadians came to Cincinnati.  |

I was going to ask what the heck that poke did, as it didn't make sense to me on a C64....only then I worked out it was a VIC-20 poke and it now makes perfect sense._________________

He was active to the end. He would even post to comp.sys.cbm, to present day.
He will be missed by me, nothing but respect for that guy. What a sad day..
